Hi, Jim... Regarding Rahab mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:5... John Chrysostom wrote, "For this end he hath mentioned Ruth also and Rachab, the one an alien, the other an harlot, that thou mayest learn that He came to do away with all our ills." John Gill wrote, "And from Rahab sprung the Messiah, another instance of a Gentile in the genealogy of Christ." Adam Clarke wrote, "Four women are mentioned in this genealogy: two of these were adulteresses, Tamar and Bathsheba; and two were Gentiles, Rahab and Ruth, and strangers to the covenant of promise." William Smith wrote, "[Rahab] became the wife of Salmon and the ancestress of the Messiah." Matthew Henry wrote, "There are four women, and but four, named in this genealogy; two of them were originally strangers to the commonwealth of Israel, Rachab a Canaanitess, and a harlot besides, and Ruth the Moabitess." John Wesley wrote, "...Matthew adds the names of those women also, that were remarkable in the sacred history." David Guzik wrote, "She [Rahab] was a Gentile prostitute, for whom God took extraordinary measures to save from judgment and her lifestyle of prostitution." Robert Jamieson wrote, "[Rahab] an ancestress of the Saviour." J. W. McGarvy and Phillip Pendleton wrote, "...she [Rahab] had been a heathen and a harlot of Jericho." Orville James Nave wrote, "[Rahab,] an ancestor of Joseph of Nazareth." P. G. Mathew wrote, "Rahab and her entire family were saved and became citizens of Israel, as we are told in Joshua 6:25... we find that she married a prince of the tribe of Judah by the name of Salmon (Matthew 1:5)." On what basis are we to judge that all of these men were in error? In Him, Doc |

Do you have some searchable library that enabled you to gather all of this? If you did the leg work on all this in the actual books I'm impressed. If you have some program that let you perform a search for it all, I'd love to get ahold of that. | ||||||

Hi, pastor... I have a regular reference library, but its not really all that extensive -- only about 60 volumes. However, up until the last year or so, I've had extremely poor eyesight. (Some advances in technology plus a second cornea transplant last year, have made an enormous difference.) Consequently, I tend to prefer electronic libraries. (They cost a lot less, too!) One of my resources is "The Master Christian Library." I have version 7, which has something over 400 resources. (Of course, a third of them aren't all that sound theologically, but even those can be informative.) http://www.ageslibrary.com/ Another good online resource is the "World Wide Study Bible" at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library: http://www.ccel.org/wwsb/index.html One other site I find incredibly valuable, run by a friend of mine: http://www.monergism.com/ I also tend to hang on to notes from classes, sermons, and conferences I've had the pleasure of attending. Of course, one of the most wonderful things about the our day with the Internet is that you and I have pretty much at our fingertips more extensive libraries than even dear Spurgeon had! Learning to do data mining on the web is, in my estimation, an extremely valuable skill. Of course, you have to weed through a whole lot of trash, too! In Him, Doc PS Drop me an email. I'd enjoy communicating with you individually, if you wish. PSS God bless you and your ministry, sir! |
